In this paper, we propose a novel mesh deformation approach via manipulating differential properties non-uniformly. Guided by user-specified material properties, our method can deform the surface mesh in a non-uniform way while previous deformation techniques are mainly designed for uniform materials. The non-uniform deformation is achieved by material-dependent gradient field manipulation and ...

cage roll forming is one of the new methods of cold roll forming process which is widely used for producing erw pipes. in addition to less production cost and time, using cage roll forming provides smooth deformation on the strip. few studies can be found about cage roll forming because of its complexity, and the available knowledge is more experience-based and not science-based. in this paper,...

Curve-pair based deformation is an extension of axial deformation for providing more intuitive and convenient control of object deformation. In this paper, we investigate the problem of direct manipulation of curve-pair based deformation with geometric constraints. With different objective functions, two kinds of constrained optimization problems are derived from the direct manipulation problem...

It introduces the methods of deformation monitoring based on 3D laser scanner. The point clouds obtained by multi-period scanning for deformation monitored object are registered. The coordinate system of point cloud is unified. Constraint stability is tested through two methods. The deformation and trends are analyzed according to the variations of coordinates of center point modeled targets an...

For half a decade model-based testing has been applied at Microsoft in the internal development process. Though a success story compared to other formal quality assurance approaches like verification, a break-through of the technology on a broader scale is not in sight. What are the obstacles? This paper describes the application of MBT at Microsoft, discusses the problems in the adoption, and ...

While similarity and retrieval in case-based reasoning (CBR) have received a lot of attention in the literature, other aspects of CBR, such as case reuse are less understood. Specifically, we focus on one of such, less understood, problems: knowledge transfer. The issue we intend to elucidate can be expressed as follows: what knowledge present in a source case is transferred to a target problem...

many efforts have been made to model the the hot deformation (dynamic recrystallization) flow curves of different materials. phenomenological constitutive models, physical-based constitutive models and artificial neural network (ann) models are the main methods used for this purpose. however, there is no report on the modeling of warm deformation (dynamic spheroidization) flow curves of any kin...
